What kind of vehicle do you drive? A 1999 Saturn SC-2. I bought it because I wanted to support the American auto industry after my previous car was totaled by the railroad. It was purchased sight-unseen over the internet and have hated it since the day I took ownership. I would have gladly returned the piece of shit during the 30-day no-penalty return period, but I was too busy traveling at the time, and lived three hours away from the dealership. It turns wider than a semi truck. It has a gap between sun visors. The mirror adjusters are STUPID. It's uncomfortable for both drivers and passengers. No Saturn dealership could ever fix it properly either in or out of warranty. I could go on and on and on.

Where would you visit if you had the chance? In order... India. Australia. Peru. Cambodia. Antarctica.

Cup 1/2 empty or 1/2 full?1966-1982: half-full.1983-1987: half-empty.1988-2011: half-full. Though, to be honest, it has been very, very hard to be a "half-full" guy over the past decade or so given the horrible political climate in this fucked-up country I live in.

Who do you think will never call you again? Anybody with the patience to suffer through this meme.

Person you expect to call you next? My sister.

Who are you most curious about their responses to stealing? Stealing what? Actually, Bad Robert is who I am most curious about their response to anything. The guy is insane. I mean really insane.

Bird watcher? Not really. Though I have seen some really cool birds in various zoos I've visited around the world.

Are you a morning person or a night person? Absolutely a night person.

Do you have any pets? No. I'd like to have a pet but, given how much I travel, that would be pretty irresponsible.

Any new and exciting news you'd like to share? Yes. Unfortunately, I can't share it right now.

What did you want to be when you were little? At one time or another during childhood I wanted to be a fireman, airline pilot, doctor, and a chef. I ended up being a graphic designer, so I guess none of my career dreams came true. Now I want to be an astronaut when I grow up.

What is your best childhood memory? I had a pretty idyllic childhood, so it would be difficult to pick just one. Probably a Christmas morning or a dinner at my grandparents house or something like that.

Are you a cat or dog person? I like both, actually. I would love to have either if I was around long enough to care for one.

Are you married? Nope. I came very, very close once. Given the kind of person she ended up, I am thankful every single day it never happened.

Been in a car accident? Yes. I was stopped at a stoplight, so obviously it wasn't my fault.

Any pet peeves? People who clip their fingernails in public and people who smack their gum. My greatest nightmare is to be eating at a restaurant and have somebody at a neighboring table smacking gum while clipping their fingernails as I try to eat. =shudder=

How many tattoos do you have? Zero. That will hopefully change one day.

How many times have you tagged someone to do a meme? I'd like to say ZERO, but I'm sure I tagged one or two people in my early blogging days... before I realized it's pure evil to do so.

What time did you finish this meme? 9:00pm on the dot.

Coffee Drinker? GACK! No. I have tried many time to try and drink coffee. I just can't do it. I like the smell of it, but can't stand the taste.

Oddly enough, this "Stupid Evil Bastard Meme" seems to have evolved from another meme that I did six years ago. Some of the questions are the same. Many are different. I guess over the years people just changed a question here or there that they didn't like, and this is where we are now. I wonder what it will look like six years from now when it makes the rounds again?

My favorite gelato flavor was always Zuppa Inglese (not sure about the spelling). It is so much creamier than ice cream! The only place I found it here was at the Bellaggio in Vegas and it was pretty darn close.

Nope, same car. Did I get the year wrong last time? I fully admit I am not into cars at all, and am surprised I even know the brand and model I drive… let alone the year! I’m pretty sure it’s either a 2000 model bought in 1999 or a 1999 model bought in 1998. How can you tell?

Hmmm… I’m sure that’s around here somewhere! It would be a heck of a lot easier to figure these things out if the YEAR of the car matched the YEAR you bought it. But they always seem to be a year ahead for some reason. I guess they want people to feel that they’re buying “newer than new” or don’t want people the following year to think they’re getting last year’s model? I dunno.

If the mushrooms are cooked and sparse… like in a sauce or something… I’ll live. May end up with a sore throat, but no real damage done. If, however, I were to sit down and eat a salad covered in raw mushrooms, my throat will close up pretty bad. Not a fun experience.
